Drew Barrymore, Pisces Through and Through

The sun has moved into the Pisces mansion, and that means
that change is afoot. Pisces is the sign of fish; two fish moving in opposite
directions. Pisces is the dreamer, creator, mystic, and poet. While the sun is
in Pisces, we'll all have the opportunity to evolve our consciousnesses, expand
our creativity and discover tools to fulfill our dreams.

A great representation of the Pisces spirit is Drew
Barrymore. Barrymore has an undeniable airiness about her, and she has a
childlike quality with her playful and rebellious nature. Barrymore also has a
hopeful spirit and she is anchored in the dream of what can be. Let's examine
the Pisces sun sign, through the image of the beloved movie star and author Drew
Barrymore.

Barrymore was born February 22, 1975, with the sun in
Pisces, the moon in Cancer, and her ascendant as Gemini. Each of these aspects
shows forth very powerfully in her personality.

Sun in Pisces:

Just like a true Pisces who lives in the creative process,
Barrymore has said, "I've always loved butterflies because they remind us that
it's never too late to transform ourselves." Transformation is the act of
living in the spaces where creativity is king, that place where there is
nothing until it becomes something. Barrymore's entire life has been framed by
the creative experience, with her Hollywood roots reaching back to 1976. She was
literally born to transform dreams into reality and to usher in the creative
process in any arena she chooses for herself. Pisces are highly intuitive,
which assists their creative potential. It is one thing to be born into a
family where creativity is highly prized as a valuable way to make a living and
contribute to the world, and something entirely else to have the talent to
succeed. It is Barrymore's Pisces sun that provides the framework for her
strong acting and creative skills.

Moon in Cancer:

The moon sign represents our emotions, what we need to
express in order to feel happiest and most satisfied. Barrymore's Cancer moon
means she needs to create and give birth. This birthing process could be
literal or figurative, but the desire to mother and nurture something into
being is powerfully strong and virtually impossible to resist in those with
this moon placement. Those with a moon in Cancer are highly emotional and
sensitive people, often tapping into the feelings of others. This would explain
Barrymore's drug use as a young person; the drugs were a tool to numb the
energies and sensations she was picking up from those around her. In her memoir,
WildFlower, Barrymore says that her
children are experiencing parenting in a way she never knew (which she is
creating as she goes). For Barrymore, the Cancer moon means that she will not
repeat with her children the negative experiences she had with her parents. The
Pisces sun, Cancer moon combination give her ability the to dream and to nurture
those dreams into reality with talent and care.

Gemini Ascendant:

Barrymore has a Gemini ascendant, which determines how she
presents herself to the world. Just like a Gemini, she shows herself to be intelligent
and somewhat aloof, with a wit and charm that make people want to be around
her. The lovely thing about having a Gemini ascendant is that it gives Barrymore
an air of balance to her Pisces sun/Cancer moon emotional energies. Geminis are
thinkers, communicators, and writers, and each are activities we see Barrymore
excel in, wearing the hats of businesswoman, leader, and memoirist.
